NIC 7126 ARPA Network Information Center
Category I.2 Stanford Research Institute (ARC)
25-JUN-71
COMPILATION OF LIST OF RELEVANT SITE REPORTS
The Network Information Center is working to compile a list of all
Site-produced reports which are of interest to Network participants.
Reports procuced under ARPA IPT contracts and any other relevant
reports produced by the Sites on information processing, network
planning, the hardware and sorfware for the projects, and some
general reports on the subject concerns of individual Sites, are
being identified, to be listed and acquired for the Network
Information Center collection.
In an initial effort to gather information, NIC requested the first
Station Agents to send copies of any existing bibliographies of their
Site's reports. Since then, other efforts have occupied NIC's time,
and the projeted bibliography of network reports is not yet issued.
In the meantime, several Agents have sent lists of their Site's
reports, and Peggy Karp's bibliography has covered much of the
ground. In the meantime, also, the expected demand for a compilation
of references and for an accessible collection of the actual reports
has developed. NIC has responsibility to satisfy this demand from
Sites for other relevant reports, to allow Sites to refer requests
for their own reports to the NIC for centralized handling, and to
provide Sites and others with bibliographic tools to facilitate
reference to all Network reports.
Requests from inside or outside the Network for reports performed
under an ARPA IPT Contract may be forwarded or referred to NIC for
answer. NIC will not attempt to supply copies to outsiders, but will
answer the request with information for ordering from government
where this information is known, or will refer the request to the
report's originator when necessary.
NIC would appreciate receiving any other existing bibliographies of
relevant Site-produced reports.
NIC would also appreciate being placed on distribution lists for new
relevant Site-produced reports.
